Pride's Consumption (Yeshuah)

they back off
they push forward
eagerness to rape with Words
on things they
never heard

they sit in collections
of people
whom they Want favor
‒to be looked upon
in high regard
a social standing
popular
to be accepted

they'll do anything
to avoid feeling Shame

it doesn't matter
what part of the world
you are in
they are all the same
these little feathered birds

they don't…at all…notice
the pain they cause
laughing and merrying
‒the Life of the party
without a thought
of the neglected

I† was this person
the leader
then trouble loomed
they all scattered
then they divided Me†
chose the parts of Me†
that fit their scheme
‒all to mock Me†

then they divided Me† more
killing Me† over and over
instead of celebrating My† Life
they mourn and wail
they do ceremonies
and light candles
they are quiet
as if I'm† all about Death
and can't be disturbed

look at them all!

one part denies
I† ever lived
that they ever killed Me†
another part denies
they were the tools
that nailed Me† to the cross

instead…they use My† Death
for high places
at dressed dinner tables
wearing fancy robes
standing on lofts
waving at crowds
they won't even touch

I† died once for all
that is enough
all that My† Father† required

it is I†

why do you keep putting
Me† on a cross?

why decorate buildings
with idols
and mourn My† Life
over and over?

don't you know
I'm† not dead?

don't you know
My† Father† reigns over
the living
and not the dead?

why do you patronize Him†
with your traditions?

I've† divided you
all sides are divided
for mere Pride
for how you are accepted
at the dinner party

but I† tell you this
it's not the dinner party
on Earth
for which you should be
concerned

it is the banquet
prepared for the Groom
that awaits your attendance

if there are more important
things to do
than to accept My† invitation
then it will be easy
to throw you out
once it's time
to knock on the door

it is I†, Yeshuah†
the knock‒
it will come
your body will die
your soul will stand
before Me†

whatever race
whatever culture
whatever language
whatever Life lived
whatever you believe

I† am
as you are

I† am the head
you are the vine

if you have ears
hear plainly
before there's no more
hearing to hear

(April 11, 2022)—Yeshuah said in order to save your life, first you have to lose it. If you haven’t yet been humbled, you will. If you’ve suffered the trials of God’s test and you still have malice on your tongue, evil in your heart, you are not His. You chose a different gate. No one is to blame but you. Pride is a nasty being who’s job is a hard one to overcome. It’s sly, slick and can easily consume any in its path.
